Persistence of deep-tendon reflexes during partial cataplexy

Deep-tendon reflexes are abolished during generalized cataplexy, but whether this is the case in partial cataplexy has remained unknown. Partial cataplexy may mimic other neurologic/psychiatric phenomena, and knowledge of the reflexes status may provide information for differential diagnosis. We assessed whether deep-tendon reflexes are persistent during partial cataplexy.
